CITY NOTES.
| HYGIENE OF KISSES.
"Chawley, dear" said lovely maid,
| As they sat in the house one night,
Its unhealthy to kiss, the doctors say,
| So of course it cannot be right.
Not Right"
"Well, darling" spoke the noble youth,
| As his color mantled high,
Il never thought being kissed to death
Such horrible death to die.
Let's try
| 1t is again fashionable for men to go
in their shirt sleeves. The weather is
little warm, don't cher nav.
The season of Lent begins to-day and
for the next forty days the faithful are
expected to observe the rules laid down
for their guidance by the church author
| tiles.
Palatka never had such a supply of
| eggs as are now in our market. They
are in the stores in boxes and baskets,
and are selling at retail for twenty cents
per dozen.
| Mr.. John Bixler has just got hold of a
pair of young offers, which he will try to
raise. The little fellows are very young
yet, but they seem healthy and in fair
way to grow.
| Large quantities of oranges are being
forwarded North at present. The j.. T.
& X. w. Railway yesterday carried sew
eral carloads forward from Palatka and
ether points along it's line.
| Mr.. A. l.. Ross, of Interlachen, one of
the Invest men IN Florida, was in town
yesterday. He gave us call, which
was very much appreciated, and we
| hope he will call and see us often.
A large number of people went off on
the river boats yesterday to points up the
| river. The day was a fine one for river
travel, and all the tourists looked happy
as the boats swung out into the channel
of the river.
The Dixies will be here on the 1st and
End of March, when they will give
performances at the Opera House. The
troupe is small one, but it is a merrtor-
ious one, and their entertainments are
always enjoyable.
Mr.. Cook Carleton, City Clerk, now
has his registration books open for the
| registration of city voters. The election
will take place early in April, and all
who have not already registered should
not fail to do so in time to vote.
Brthington's Washday passed off very
quietly in Falatka, and the holiday was
not observed except by the banks and
the pOst-office. Ii was a beautiful day,
however and we doubt if in that re-
spect the day was equaled at any other
point on earth.
! We are under obligations to Mr.. l..
Holman. owner OF Lake Chipco Straw
berry Farm, located opposite Inter
lachen, for a lot of very fine Strawberries
sent US yesterday. The Strawberries
were very good, and Mr.. Holman expects
to gather large yield from his many
vines.
An occasional visit to the freight
warehouses of our railroads shows that
while commercial affairs seem very
quiet, there is a considerable quantity of

point. Our railroads are all doing a
good business, and they furnish a pretty
good index of the business of the coun-
try through which they run.
We regret that a notice of the ball
given by the +. s. V. p. Club at the
Guards Armory on Monday evening was
inadvertently omitted in yesterday
News. 1t was the last ball of the season,
and most of the gay dancers made the
best of their opportunity for full enjoy
ment in order 10 be ready to undergo the
rigors of the Lenten season. The hop
was largely attended by our society peo-
pie. and the dresses were as handsome
and tasty, the ladies as charming and
beautiful, and the gentlemen as gallant
and courteous as becomes Palatka PEG
pie. The hop was a success and all re-
greet that it was the last entertainment
of the kind for this season. The young
gentlemen of the R. S. V. P. Club are to
be con gratulated on the success of this
last, as well as all of their entertain
